UV Filters An UV filter is used to reduce UV rays from entering the lens and striking the film. Modern lenses often have UV protection built into them as well as digital sensors, however, UV filters are commonly used to help protect the surface of the lens from scratches, smudges, dirt and other hazards.

Circular Polarizing Filter A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies.

Searched the web for a good price and came across Cowboy Studio , had recently purchased a Canon T 5i and needed new filters for 18-135 mm is stm lens . I was worried about quality because of low price point . The uv filter does what it should , protect the camera lens, the CPL. is circular and can be adjusted as needed the proof will be when I shoot in bright light with water or bright sky background , Stay tuned .
